Why would anyone expect anything different?
Even antifa goes on a spring break...

Read the article. Hundreds. Click-bait. Beaches are hardly crowded.
Besides, you. posted that the panic behavior of the Herd was more dangerous than anything the virus could. bring.
The headline is false. The beaches are not packed. Especially from a Spring break perspective.
